“Bravest strongest and arrogant Bashful proud but diligent The un-vanquished city shall be his grave None but a sacrifice to Gods could save The Slayer of Knots would die by, A disloyal Ganymede on day nine: The cursed city would weal havoc A Golden Age would break forth The fire would spread through Hella’s heart A clash of two heavens would cause the spark On the month of Daesius , die or do your part.”

SELENE POV The world around me faded into silence as Iris's final whisper disappeared. And then… the tribulation came. A loud rumble cracked across the skies, splitting the heavens.

The plain before them was a writhing sea of rotting soldiers, crawling and crouching, trying to sneak up upon the Imperial/Colonial line.
